Shopping in Dubai!!??
Just when you got your head around the dangers of driving in Dubai, now its not safe to shop either!
This report in this morning's 7 days:
Shocked shoe shoppers had to dive for cover after a woman ploughed her car through the window of a store as she tried to back out of a parking spot.
Instead of reversing the woman, who 7DAYS has agreed not to name, shot forward, bounced up the curb, through the window of K-Corner near Lamcy Plaza before grinding to a hault in the middle of a Skecher shoe display.
“The car flew over the curb at a crazy speed, smashing into two other cars parked in front of the store before crashing at full throttle into the counter and stands inside the store,” an eye witness said.
The woman’s parents and her son were in the car at the time. There were approximately eight people in the shop at 11.00pm on Thursday, but no one was hurt.
The embarrassed Egyptian woman last night blamed her brand new Toyota Camry, saying it must be faulty. “I’m a doctor who didn’t lose her mind yet and I’ve been driving for five years,” she told 7DAYS.
“I had my family with me and was listening to the Koran, so obviously something is wrong with the brakes and I’m going to demand a complete inspection of the car,” she said.
Sure, sure, it could happen anywhere, but the reasons given.......?
Keep discovering, folks!

Any discount on the shoes??
All the car manufacturers could save lots of money if they did NOT equip export models bound for the UAE with 1) turn signals 2) side view mirrors

Reasonable Doubt.

Obviously it could not, should not have happened. Act of God perhaps?
B.E.
